I'm ready whenever you are, TC.
The door falls outward with a dull thud. Moves cautiously into the ship's central corridor, a brightly-lit, multi-faceted hallway with various doors and devices. Motions for the others to follow.
Mack, check out that duck-shaped console in the near corner. It might let us access some of the ship's internal systems.
Do be careful not to touch any blue, green or greenyblue buttons. They are all linked to the ACME emergencybackupmanuallyoperatedautodestructsystem.
-A 10cm tall holo-proj of Lord Commander Anic shimmers greenybluely nearby.
Hi guys, just interested to see how well the anti-intruder systems function. It's System 7.5.3 you know, lots of new add ons, but also full of bugs.
Do carry on, ignore me. :rolleyes:
-sips drink
Lights and strange noises start emanating from various corners of the ship.
Hey, Mack, be careful with what you're- A large floor panel opens up directly beneath him and he falls into a small chamber with a thud. Oof! Hey, where am I? Mack? Hamster? Anybody?
Unsheathes knives and looks around cautiously. Suddenly a bright screen turns on and a speaker spouts a voice
Speaker: "Welcome to GreenyBlue Employee Training #4: How to be the greeniest and bluest employee you can be! Here at GreenyBlue corp, we take the blueness and greenyness of our employees and support staff very seriously. The following is a presentation we have prepared on how to emulate the finest greeny and blue examples that history has taught us."
Hoo boy... Uh, guys, if you can hear me, just keep exploring the transport. It may be a while before I find a way out of here. Just be careful up there!
OOC: Heading off on vacation and my internet access will be sporadic at best for the next couple of weeks, so, save at least a little adventuring for me!
Climbs up through the trapdoor and manages to force it open.
I made it out, guys. Man, was that a horrible experience. Now I've got Greeny and Blue historical references going through my head. If their employees are this fanatical this ship may be tougher to crack than even Anic could have predicted.
Come on, let's move down this corridor.
A half-green, half-blue android in the shape of an anthropomorphic walrus drops down to the floor.
Hoo boy, here we go...
Ah a DEATH TASTER...,
said the munchkin sized holoproj of Lord Cmdr Anic.
...Looks like version 4, Walrus. 4.5.1 if that's a twinkle in it's left eye. They come with omni shielding. Saw the design plans a while back, never actually seen one operational. A live field test, this should be quite interesting... :laugh:
A mind control field? Why do you drinkgreenyblue say that?" Frowns. Okay, this thing looks pretty well-armored; I doubt my blade could do much. What do you fellas have in the way of anti-walrus weaponry?
The walrus droid slowly moves closer, a greeny-blue flicker in its eyes.
No,
said the munchkin sized holoplot,
Remember the Omni-shielding, stops anything anti-walrus.
You need to apply sideways thinking...
Hm, it's targeting the holo-message, interference.....
phfssssssst!
The helpful holoproj of LCA vanished in a puff of interference,
Only the Walruss 4.5.1 remained
Offers the Walrus some yummy Walrus Android Chow. The Walrus lowers its omni-shielding in order to grab at it, at which point Cicion picks up the anti-universe bomb and throws it with great speed at the Walrus's feet. The Walrus turns its shielding back on... an instant too late, enclosing the bomb inside of it. The bomb goes off, and the explosion is entirely contained inside the shield. Ouch. Okay, everyone, let's get moving before more come after us!
The Holoproj of Lord Cmdr Anic pops back into existence, twenty metres tall filling the room in its greyeybluness..., and then, after an instant slurps back to a more harmless looking munchkin size.
"What?! Oh, there you are.
Oh, you survived. Oh well done."
Sips GreenyBlue Cocktail
"The bar's fine by the way, though the cleaning droids appear to have been watching too much TV and have formed a trade union and gone on strike for more oil..." :blink:
"Er..."
holoproj pauses to sip Frosted GreenyBlueŽŠ
"...you'd better watch yourself there. That's raw BlueyGreenŽŠ, the unrefined stuff. Glows in the dark and other such things. It's lethal to most life forms, well to most things come to think of it. Tastes good though.
It's what is fed to the Thirtytonmeggaelephants...
Funny that, wonder what a keg of it is doing up here."
Looks as thoughtful as a 10cm holographic projection can.

sips drink again
"Um, one of you guys better pull the Fox out of there, he's starting to disolve." :laugh:
